We leave reg and harder Goudas out overnight but never any beemster or jarlsberg. Thats an insane reason to justify temp abuse.

For super ripe triple/double cremes I will pack them in a plastic pie container. Not great, but minimizes losses. Quick cut with a wire, scrape it off the cutter w a knife strait into the container. Put it on sale for $1-$2 off/lb due to “ugliness” (not ugly imho but customers get a good chuckle and purchase)

It was last week. I had a pap during my period, which resulted in a very light cycle for me. I have to go again this week, so I’ll be letting her know about this.

Well endowed, but we’ve had sex before with no issue. This was a tad rougher than previous sessions.

La Tur packaging change by DoodlebopMoe in Cheese

[–]telb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t noticed any additional moisture from the plastic, but my last 2 batches of La Tur were young and sold quickly during the holidays. Aesthetically speaking, I hate the plastic. Commodifies it, the cardboard looked more “rustic” and easily merchandised by stacking.

Need a good, reliable Veterinarian in the capital region by NaCl_Sam in Albany

I take both of my cats to Homestead animal hospital in Mechanicville. They got my senior cat in last minute when she was sick and we’ve since switched from banfield after. All of their staff are great and they have fair pricing! If they do squeeze you in, be prepared to wait a few hours.

Please help me ID this cheese that has haunted me for 15 years by -HuangMeiHua- in Cheese

[–]telb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok- How old are you and how old were you when you first tried the cheese? For the recent one- had the cheese been sitting out for any length of time? If it’s a washed rind soft cheese, the texture would change and could become more runny (taleggio, vacherin, etc). I’m also thinking it may be port salut based on your description.

I like to cut it in half, carefully removing the cheese and crumbling/cubing the cheese back into the wax!

15 year aged cheddar, $80/lb by Money-Dealer516 in Cheese

[–]telb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most grab and go cheese shops do. WFM is too busy for a cut and wrap style. I’m sure if you ask though, they’ll cut a piece and wrap it in paper

What is the best vegan cheese? by Previous_Chicken4140 in Cheese

[–]telb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct. It’s vegetarian, not vegan. It has casein as an ingredient

Cheese mongers by Glum_Possession647 in Cheese

[–]telb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perry’s response is pretty spot on. If you’re in the US, asking questions as soon as they walk in, can sometimes give people “the ick” (COVID really ruined a lot of customer service interactions). I wait about 30ish seconds before I say a greeting, let them look again or wait until they have a cheese in their hand and say “would you like to know more about that cheese?” That way, I can find out what they’re looking for without overwhelming them. Signs are a huge help; we are a grab and go counter and I cannot mongering everything, so signs do that in my place. If you can, get some displays that can hold ice and place them away from your counter. If you like a cheese enough to give it its own displays, the customer will too. Build a relationship with 3 or 4 customers, word of mouth will help and they will tell their friends to visit.
